    Solution

    Dirt may adhere to the fixing unit inside the machine and cause black spots or streaks to appear on printouts. If this occurs, proceed as follows to clean the fixing unit. Note that you cannot clean the fixing unit when the machine has documents waiting to be printed. To clean the fixing unit, you need plain A4 or Letter size paper. Set the paper in the multi-purpose tray before performing the following procedure.

    NOTE:
    If paper remains on the multi-purpose tray
